'''Radio Communication''' over a '''distance''' of at least '''2 Light Seconds''' using the Moon as reflector. Anyone interested in actually talking to him/herself? We can do that - you're welcome.

Project Moonbounce's aim is to provide the visitors of [http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/wiki/index.php/Main_Page 2011's Chaos Communication Camp] some interesting insights into amateur radio in general and into one of its most spectacular varieties in particular. Earth-Moon-Earth (EME, Moonbounce) radio communication directly on the campsite and for everyone's amazement. Since the camp's language is mostly English due to the very international audience, this site is as well.
